Here’s an analogy for you......
Pitchers can’t hit.....They used to be able to.....
High Schol coaches often times use their pitchers as “Pitchers Only”
They just stop swinging in the cages and in games.....
When we were all kids if you could pitch, you could also rake.. National league minor league teams often don’t bat their pitchers......
Sure a few can still hit.....
But most suck, and they are too much of pussies to run the bases hard like they’re 47 years old, or something......
See where I’m going here.....
Kids who are very athletic are often turned away from playing corner or RB...
You’re right about Dan Connor at PSU....Puz was a good RB, many others, as well...
There are soooo many big giant 6’4 280 pound white kids, but they become Olinemen.....
90% of them....Put these kids on the Dline......I’ve talked to recruiters that said they’d get laughed at if they brought in a white tailback.....(Zane Dudek is a prime example).......Carolina Speed saw this personally, I believe....
Let’s concede, that maybe the best of the best running backs were Jim Brown, Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, OJ Simpson and Emmitt Smith.....Great.....But there are a dozen players or so with a second or third string roster spot in this league that are not as good as Zach Line.....ZL gets slotted as a fullback......Why in hell do hacks project Nall as a potential H back????......His numbers are as good or better than so many other players with roster spots. Laird was a walk on.....Cooper Kupp didn’t get D1 consideration.....
This list can go on for days,,,,,,It’s true lurkers.....Open your eyes.....
I’ll leave with this. I admit I root for all sports teams that have the most white guys, more so for an underdog thing than racism. I’m a Conservative Republican who would vote for Allen West or Sheriff Clark or Jewish Ben Shapiro any day, all day when Trump leaves....
Colin Powell or Condelesa Rice......But I root like hell for my underdog white athlete....
I hate showboating in the end zone and trash talking and I don’t like grammar like, “who that is”.....There are broadcasters that talk like this......But I don’t like the action, not the skin color....It just so happens that lots of them fall into that category.....Not all of them, of coarse......Was it wrong in the 70’s for black folks to root for the Jefferson’s to win a TV award????? Of course not.....Wanting your own people to succeed isn’t bad......
